Method
 

How to Make Crispy Feta Fried Eggs
  1. Begin by heating a generous drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers invitingly.
  2. Sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly in the skillet and allow it to melt slightly and crisp up for about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Carefully crack the eggs over the crispy feta, spacing them apart.
  4. Generously season the eggs with salt and black pepper.
  5. Allow the eggs to cook for 3-4 minutes, until the whites are just set and yolks are still runny.
  6. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and red pepper flakes on top.
  7. Gently slide the delicious eggs and crispy feta onto a plate and serve immediately.
